Math
1720 (Calculus II)
Spring 2004, UNT
Lecture: GAB 201, TR 8:00-9:20am
Instructors:
Jan 13-Mar 03: Professor Olav Richter
Mar 03-Apr 30: Professor Alex Clark
Course Description: In Math 1720, we
will cover differentiation and integration of trigonometric, exponential,
logarithmic, and transcendental functions. We will investigate various
integration techniques and also improper integrals. Furthermore, we will
discuss sequences, infinite series, power series, and if time permits, Taylor's
theorem.
Prerequisites for Math 1720: Math 1710.
Textbook:
Homework: Here is a
complete list of recommended homework for this course. The homework is not an
official part of your grade, but it is very important that you work on the
homework to be prepared for the quizzes and exams. Quiz and exam problems are
typically closely related to the homework problems.
Math Lab: You may want to check out the UNT Math Lab (in GAB 440) to get extra
help with the homework. Hours (Jan 20-Apr 30): Mo-Th 7am-8pm; Fr 7am-4pm; Sa
1pm-5pm (closed Sundays and Holidays).
Exams & Grading Policy: Your final grade will be based on quizzes, two
midterms, and a comprehensive final. Quizzes may be given at the beginning of
any class meeting and will never be announced. You should always be prepared to
take a quiz. There will be more than 10 quizzes (probably 13), but only your 10
best quizzes will count towards your overall grade. There will be NO make up
quizzes! The midterms will be on February 19th and on April 6th. The final
exam will be on May 4th. Please make sure that you are available at those
dates, since there will be NO make up exams!
The grade is comprised of
You are encouraged to study
together and help each other throughout the semester. If everyone does well,
everyone will receive a good grade.
Expectations: A fair amount of work is involved in learning
calculus. You are expected to come to lecture on time. Plan ahead so you are
not late. You should come to every lecture, and come prepared. If you have to
miss class or if you are late for some unavoidable reason, you might miss a
quiz (remember that there will be NO make up quizzes). It is your responsibility
to obtain notes from another student if you miss class. You are expected to
read the assigned sections and work on the recommended homework problems
immediately after they are assigned. You should be prepared to ask questions,
take notes, and look alive in class. Please bring your text book to class and
leave the cell phone at home. Repeat: NO CELL PHONES OR PAGERS!!! In addition
to attending lecture, you should spend at least 6 hours per week on my course.
Extra Credit: Do NOT expect to be able to do some extra work to help
your grade either before or after the final exam. There will be NO extra credit
other than perhaps an extra problem on an exam.
Some Advice: Math is not a spectator sport. Work through problems
and examples and text, instead of just reading. Make many notes in the margins
and redo each and every example from the book and from lecture. You will not
learn calculus from watching the professor or friends display ideas and solve
problems. You must try problems, finish problems, ask questions, correct your
mistakes, put concepts in your own words, and practice, practice, practice! The
good news: A small increase in effort usually results in a big increase in
success!
Disabilities: It is the responsibility of students with certified
disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the
Dean of Students Office.
Cheating: No cheating will be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating will receive an F
in the course. Furthermore, a letter will be sent to the appropriate dean.
Lecture schedule: In the very unlikely event that you missed a lecture
you can check here to see what material I covered in class. I will update the
Actual Lecture Schedule after every class.
